Morning Star Veggie Dog Sandwich
Who says you have to eat a hot dog on a hot dog bun? What if you don’t have any? What if all the hot dog buns are pandemic-style stale? Well, then try the burger buns. Are they stale too? Not today is okay with me. Then burger buns it is! Serves 6
Beyond Sausage Straight Up Or On A Bun
Use Original or Sweet Italian, whichever you have on hand (beware the sweet is more hot than not). Many times I forego the bun to limit the carbs. Sometimes I just want the A-F meat. Who says I have to have the bun with it? The slaughter industries who mix the barn with the gardenContinue reading “Beyond Sausage Straight Up Or On A Bun”
The Muze Fieldhouse Lakewood, Ohio 2nd visit
The Muze Fieldhouse Lakewood, Ohio
We live three blocks from this huge, new, music, food, beverage and event venue, and never saw it melting into the neighborhood as the insides of a very old brick building saw a different light of day with each new layer of the remodel forming a personality suited to all who enter. Everywhere you lookContinue reading “The Muze Fieldhouse Lakewood, Ohio”
Air Fry Toast Perfection
Although I didn’t buy this air fryer to make toast, once I tried it I put away my toaster for when I move to a better place, where it doesn’t set off the smoke detector every time I use it.
The Weekend Is The Time To Experiment

Sweet Pickle Cream
The delicious taste of a sweet bread & butter pickle in a cream – no pickles added, just the juice of that which you normally discard. Heaven in a toss-away! Use as a substitute A-F mayo served cold, or a topping or dipping sauce – served warm. Or, dilute some of it with water and/orContinue reading “Sweet Pickle Cream”
Impossible Burger Back @ Tick Tock Tavern
First they had it, then they didn’t. Not enough sales they claimed. @ Tick Tock Tavern. Then they got it in again. This time I was there. Actually, this Impossible burger tastes and textures more like the Burger King Burger.
New Menu Vegan @ Brothers Lounge
Steve and I selected three of the new Vegan menu items at Brothers Lounge, the first being FRIED PLANTAINS. We had no idea what to expect. I’ve never tasted a plantain, but heard they were denser than a banana with less of a banana flavor, more vegetable-like than fruit-like – more of a potato texture.Continue reading “New Menu Vegan @ Brothers Lounge”

Promises Made For Keeping
God grant me the strength to fight through argument those who terrorize me and others, no matter who they be. God grant me discipline in my everyday life, so that every day I may accomplish a new task that requires that discipline.
The Perversion Of Food
The Perversity Of Food What’s your lean? Where’s your marble? Why does it always have to be Chicken Parmesan? All you can do is copy? Where’s your imagination? Somebody locked you into their culinary demands that never can be changed? What is this all about? Prey or pray tell? Mamma or government. Spread your culinaryContinue reading “The Perversion Of Food”
Undressing A Bottle
Now this is the way to undress a bottle – perfect label remover. Some labels remove easily, most don’t. I like to reuse my containers and why not, I paid for them. But label removable can be so difficult it’s not worth the time. Pick an edge and start peeling, just like that, easy asContinue reading “Undressing A Bottle”

Lily’s Vegan Smoked Duck ala Sharon
Lily’s Vegan Duck ala Sharon Does it taste and texture like animal duck? I never had animal duck, so dunno. Steve used to order Peking Duck whenever we went Chinese if it was on the menu. One thing I do know is it wasn’t gamey. Tender, delicious, seasoning appropriate for duck. Subtle, should please allContinue reading “Lily’s Vegan Smoked Duck ala Sharon”

Air Frying Tater Tots
Steve bought tater tots a while back. Little did I know the first food I try on my new air fryer would be those. Since most tater tots are crispy outside, and I’m the one with sensitive gums that have no back chewing teeth, I cooked half of them a shorter time, then crisped theContinue reading “Air Frying Tater Tots”

Chef Sharon Buys A Chefman Air Fryer
@149.00$ plus tax and free shipping it was for my needs the best buy for the quality. There were so many to choose from on amazon.com, it took me a day to research it all.
Transparency In Food Labeling
Why do companies hide animal ingredients under natural flavor label on products? They don’t want other companies copying their product; they need some secret ingredients. Otherwise someone else will sell the same product.
Wahlburgers adjacent to JACK CASINO – review
You can be sure I will not return. Vegan bun or not, which nobody knew what the bun contained anyway. I figured I’d eat it plain. Yes, vegans do go out to eat with friends at animal-eating and animal-serving establishments.
Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential
I’m not trying to increase book sales of a dead person, but everyone who eats and drinks out should read Anthony Bourdain’s KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL.
Change Vegan Friendly To Animal Friendly
To restaurants: Instead of writing vegan friendly on your menu selections, I suggest writing animal friendly – which excludes all animals and animal products.
Expect Some Respect
There are no terms. Vegans don’t eat at restaurants serving animals – or so the Facebook Street claims.
JUICY CHEW RICE
How does a juicy chew sound? I didn’t know until I ad-libbed this rice one morning wanting something other than plain for a change of pace. Was I ever surprised. RICE? JUICY ON THE CHEW?

Crab Boil Tofu
CRAB BOIL TOFU You know the spice blend that restaurants use to cook shell fish primarily? Well, why not do the same with tofu? Opening the bag and pouring some of it into the water nearly choked me. Big reaction. Guess I breathed some of it in. Use CAUTION when using Crab Boil Spice. OtherwiseContinue reading “Crab Boil Tofu”
